Fashion: All White For Amanda Wakeley LFW

Hi ladies, how are you? Do you know the following?: It's Saturday night, you've got nothing else planned bar snuggling up on your settee (maybe watch some Netflix) and suddenly, an email pops up in your inbox, which quite unexpectedly changes the entire course of your evening? Well it has happened to me last weekend, when my friend Laura sent me a quick message asking me if I wanted join her for the Amanda Wakeley Fashion Show. OMG course I did! Amanda Wakeley For London Fashion Week Excited to start the week with another appearance at London Fashion Week, my Saturday night suddenly became all about fashion research. To be honest with you, I've never heard of Amanda Wakeley before but when Laura sent over a link to see some pieces of her collection I was hooked on her amazing designs with feminine cuts and mature sophisticated styles. Did you click on the link ? Well if you have, you know what I mean (insert heart emoji here). When I saw the sleek, elegant designs in whit

I can't believe how fast another busy, yet super amazing week in London has gone by. I feel like I've experienced a lot more in the last two months of living here, than I have in the past two years. It is incredible! So this week I made an appearance on the red carpet, attended my second London Fashion Week show, went for a job interview, tried and tested a very healthy breakfast cereal AND had a sneak peek at Karl Lagerfeld's AW15 collection (and the weekend isn't even over yet!).  1. Karen And I Rocked The Red Carpet At Cosmo's FashFest Thanks To River Island * Karen received an amazing invite the other day by India from River Island . She invited her to come along Cosmopolitan's FashFest and Karen was allowed to bring a plus one. Have a guess who the lucky person was! I can't believe Karen chose me and I'd like to thank her a million times for taking me to this fantastic event. Karen, Paige , Ella , Me and the ladies from River Island . The fashion s

Hi ladies, how are you? Last week, Karen got invited by River Island to attend this year's Cosmopolitan FashFest. She was allowed a plus one and have a guess whom she asked to come along!?! #bigsmile. The four day FashFest event ended with an epic fashion show on Thursday night, so it was time for us to dress up for a glamourous night out. The Search For The Dress For a while now, I've been seeing a certain style with dresses and skirts. Sometimes I would come across the term 'Flare & Fit', other times 'Hollow Cut Out'. I still haven't find out 100% what the style is called, but one thing was for sure. I really wanted to have either a skirt or dress of that make. After an intense fashion research online, I found out that Forever 21 would sell black sleevless dresses with the shape and cut. As it always is with a fashion piece online, it wasn't available in my size so I went into both London stores and tried to hunt that dress down - without any suc

Hi everyone, how was your weekend? Did you have some time to relax and enjoy the magnificent weather? I did and I feel this has been one of my busiest weekends I had so far in London. But let’s start at the beginning. Saturday The morning was spent at the Rough Runner event held in Clapham Common. Our friends from Wolverhampton came down to join Alex for the 5k obstacle run in the park. Due to health reasons, I couldn’t run with them, but I still felt part of the experience as I volunteered to be their photographer. I would wait at every obstacle and then cheer and motivate them whilst taking some snaps on my Nikon. This way, I felt still involved in the action and excitement. It was also a lot of fun watching Alex struggling with the obstacles whereas our friend Pete, who is a personal fitness trainer , effortlessly managed every challenge. #cheekysmile The afternoon was spent at the Mary Ward House in Russell Square where I attended my first London Fashion Week event. I was invited

Hi everyone, what a week it has been. It started with a very disappointing disaster day at Dismaland but it has ended with some amazing news. The post reached more than 1,000 views within less than two days and I also broke my 2k Twitter goal. With such great developments and the weekend only a few hours away, could there be anything else to make this Friday even better? YES there is. My first ever guest blog went live this morning over at Louise's The What Now Blog AND I teamed up with Serenata Flowers to run a giveaway as a Thank You to all of my readers. You'll have the chance to win a flower bouquet worth £40 and I hope I can surprise a lucky reader next Friday. Serenata Flowers Review Weekends start best with a surprise, don't you think?
